Victorinox Granton Edge Slicing Knife with Fibrox Handle

Amazing knife, beautiful, razor sharp, dishwasher safe, comfortable grip, wet or dry. I'm a practical person, so I wanted a quality slicing knife, but didn't want to spend hundreds on some flashy blade, like these Instagram posers. I also didn't want to buy some off-brand either. I wanted it to be durable, comfortable, dishwasher safe and easy to sharpen. I was given a 10 inch Victorinox Chefs knife 20 years ago as a gift. The exact same series as this knife and I use it daily at home. Run it through the dishwasher daily and I hit it with my sharpening steel maybe once every 2 weeks to restore it edge. It is still my favorite knife and is a good as the day I got it and I have no doubt I will have it forever. This slicing knife is the same quality and will likely be the last 12 inch slicing knife I ever own.

Excelente cuchillo, tiene un muy buen filo . Lo he usado para partir brisket, lechón, costillar ahumado y picaña y todo lo corta Perfecto. Es fácil de usar y no se raya fácilmente, una gran compra.

This is a scary knife: big, fairly weighty and extremely sharp. It is quite long with a blade length of 29 cm and remarkably wide at 4 cm. I bought it as a carving knife as recommended by several reviewers who rated it very high. However, I found it messy when cutting a joint of pork and it was hopeless at cutting through crackling. It actually is described as a edge slicing knife and not a carving knife and this is really a better description. It is the wider width than standard that allows such straight cutting, while the sharpness of the blade makes such a difference. This difference in description (slicing knife) is important as while it might be great for carving more solid textured meat, for a general purpose carving knife a serrated edged knife would be better. Indeed, the Victorinox carving knife with serrated edge proved to be a great Christmas present for my son-in-law and perhaps I should have bought the same. That knife not only cut through all manner of meats, but it did so with great accuracy and produced very thin and uniform slices as required. However, for fine textured meat the Granton slicing knife will be splendid and I find it a brilliant bread knife giving a really straight cut with no crumbs.

Like the TV series The Good Knife :) I love it, it's super sharp and does a great job. Decent value for the money. Maybe a little better grip to the handle but that is just me for someone else the grip could be perfect. I enjoy the knife, does great job, would buy again..

I bought this knife just before preparing a meal for 125 people. Smoked tri-tip and ham were the dishes I was contributing to the meal. I have access to a professional meat slicer, but I wanted to see how things would fare cutting the meat by hand. Cutting by hand gives me a lot more control when it comes to cutting against the grain - which is a big deal when it comes to the texture of the slices of meat. The knife did a fantastic job. I was able to cut 40lbs of tri tip with no issue at all, and was able to control the thickness of the slices very easily. The knife did have some resistance when it came to cutting through the fat cap, but even the powered slicer struggles with that (the powered slicer tends to cut most of the fat, but not all of it, so there are strands pulling back and forth making quite a mess). The knife handled the fat cap much better than I anticipated actually. After 40lbs of tri tip, I wan't sure if the blade would hold its edge. I was cutting on a wood cutting board as well, so some dulling wouldn't have been a surprise at all. I know this knife isn't really intended to be used on a cutting board, but because I was slicing prior to the event, it was an easier way to handle the workload. All that said, the blade kept its sharpness, and I was able to slice extremely thin slices of ham when desired. It breezed through the 50lbs of ham with no issue. I've used the knife at home several times after the event for a family dinner, and it is still extremely sharp. I've haven't felt the need to sharpen the knife yet. I'm very pleased with how much this thing has been able to cut through and still remain sharp. I've wanted a powered meat slicer for a long time, but there are a few major downsides to them. They take up a lot of space in the kitchen, and need to be taken apart and cleaned after every use for the best results. For slicing large quantities of meat, a powered slicer is a great option. But for home use, and even medium sized events, this knife is the way to go. I highly recommend this knife for anyone who serves meat on a semi-regular basis. I'm seriously considering buying a few more for my next event.
